Bukavu Blues

A murderous gang on the rampage. A country torn apart by brutal conflict. A man determined to stop the bloodshed.

Watching his people suffer years of appalling violence has made human rights defender Patrice Le Congo grow weary and cynical. But when schoolteacher Aurélia Mukunda turns to him for help after a mutilated body is found in a village, he can’t say no.

Patrice’s investigation takes him to lawless tin mines and hazardous encounters with rebel groups and renegade army units – to the heart of a seemingly never-ending war that’s brought death and destruction to eastern Congo.

More gruesome murders follow, threatening to derail an international peace conference. Then the killers abduct Aurélia. And Patrice is faced with two challenges: to save the teacher and to save his country.

Bukavu Blues is the opening novel chronicling the adventures of Patrice Le Congo – a series of crime stories with a global political dimension.
